Accountability Friday – what are your values?
So how successful were you with your goals this week? Do not forget to celebrate each and every win.
I have mentioned before that sometimes we do not achieve success because our goals are not properly aligned. It is important to be aware of our values as our goals must be in alignment with our values in order for our subconscious not to sabotage them. I found on Steve Pavlina’s blog a list of values. Print them out and go through the list with a highlighter pen, marking all values to which you feel drawn to. Go through the list quickly the first time. Then go through the highlighted list and narrow it down to the 10 most important values to you. When you make up your list of goals for next week, try to identify the value that lies behind the goal and check to see if it is in your top ten. If not consider a different goals that is more aligned.
Also print out your top ten values and pin them somewhere you can see them to remind yourself to act in alignment as often as possible and you will find your subconscious becomes an ally rather than a saboteur.
